You are in no way insignificant. Your posts are warm, insightful, engaging and poignant. I'm sorry you think your efforts have been wasted. I think you have made a valuable contribution, even if it hasn't as yet resulted in change that would make this a safe and inviting place for all and not just a select few. If the civility rules were enforced in a consistent and objective manner, I think they wouldn't cause so much hurt, suffering and animosity. They have proven to be divisive and damaging - not just to individual posters, but to the community as a whole. Even amidst all the discussion currently taking place, one person gets a block for reiterating an uncivil comment for which another poster did not even get a PCB. How is that equitable?!?!?
You are to be commended for your tenacity. I hope you get a second wind and continue to fight the good fight.
